Charlamonte Gordon, LPC

Charlamonte Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana who brings a compassionate, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She holds a M.ED in counseling - a Master of Education training focused on therapeutic practice and client-centered care - and uses that foundation to help people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions.

She has guided clients through issues including anger, anxiety, depression, and conflict resolution, and has worked with individuals involved with system agencies such as the legal system, schools, and child protection services. Charlamonte has particular experience supporting children and adolescents who exhibit at-risk behaviors, addressing challenges like impulsivity, difficulties with anger control, problematic decision-making, and struggles with mental health management.

Charlamonte believes young people should have a voice in their care and that no one is defined by their past. She emphasizes patience, respect, and an open-minded attitude, helping clients identify and build on their existing strengths. Her practice is focused on practical coping skills, improved communication, and empowering clients to respond to life circumstances in ways that align with who they want to become. Charlamonte aims to help each person discover inner resources and move toward the goals they envision for themselves.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Charlamonte draws on evidence-based techniques and a strengths-based orientation to support clients. The strengths-based approach focuses on identifying personal resources and abilities - it helps clients reframe challenges and build on what already works in their lives, which is useful for improving self-esteem, coping, and resilience.

She also emphasizes skills-based coping strategies that teach practical tools for managing stress, anger, anxiety, and mood shifts. These strategies include problem-solving, emotion regulation practices, and communication skills that are helpful for individuals, families, and adolescents facing impulsivity or behavioral concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Charlamonte works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility - clients can meet by video, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, school, and family commitments and to maintain momentum between in-person appointments when needed.
